Hi , I am new in Kafka . I went through some docments to understand Kafka. I have some questions. Please help me to understand 1> Kafka storage: What is the physical existing of segment file ? What do you mean by "flushing segment file to disk"? One of the document mentioned -- "A message is only exposed to the consumers after it is flushed" That means consumer has to wait ?
1> Consuming the message >From where consumer read the messages? from segment file or from .log file or from some cache? 2> If it is from cache then how and who is storing into such cache? Thanks And Regards Goutam Chowdhury
